Donald Trump’s arrogance knows no limits, and his pomposity can be at once comic and terrifying. His administration is indeed a fascist regime bucked up by a minority fascist movement—although the US is not yet a fascist society. And this is where a major conflict emerges.
Trump’s swagger becomes more lethal every day, making him a perfect target for a growing resistance. But the question being contested in the streets—through banners and chants as well as countless face-to-face dialogues—and throughout society is whether this advancing popular energy will be channeled exclusively into the electoral arena by the leaders of the Democratic Party, or whether it can lead us to a more robust conversation and a more thoroughgoing effort to reimagine, repair, and rebuild society on a more fundamental and just basis.
In this regard people are increasingly aware that the crises we’re facing are the result of bipartisan policies for decades: Democrats and Republicans alike built the military behemoth that menaces the world; both parties have been desperately threatening other countries with the goal of holding on to the dwindling US hegemony in the world economy; both parties funded Israel and provided diplomatic cover for Israeli lawlessness; both supported the astronomical growth of prisons, the militarization of domestic police forces, the shifting of public assets to private hands, and any resistance to universal, publicly-funded healthcare.

“Only the white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.”

Today—March 6, 2026—is the 56th anniversary of the terrible explosion in the basement of a townhouse in Greenwich Village, New York that killed three of our Beloveds and marked the beginning of our fugitive days. We pause today—as we do everyday—to remember Diana Oughton, Ted Gold, and Terry Robbins. Your courage is legendary; your freedom dreams are eternal. We will love you all/ways.
